下面的代码片段可能会有所帮助。

import UIKit

extension UIImage {
    func cropImage(toRect rect: CGRect) -> UIImage? {
        if let imageRef = self.cgImage?.cropping(to: rect) {
            return UIImage(cgImage: imageRef)
        }
        return nil
    }
}

wolf回答的快速版本，对我来说很管用:

public extension UIImage {
    func croppedImage(inRect rect: CGRect) -> UIImage {
        let rad: (Double) -> CGFloat = { deg in
            return CGFloat(deg / 180.0 * .pi)
        }
        var rectTransform: CGAffineTransform
        switch imageOrientation {
        case .left:
            let rotation = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: rad(90))
            rectTransform = rotation.translatedBy(x: 0, y: -size.height)
        case .right:
            let rotation = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: rad(-90))
            rectTransform = rotation.translatedBy(x: -size.width, y: 0)
        case .down:
            let rotation = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: rad(-180))
            rectTransform = rotation.translatedBy(x: -size.width, y: -size.height)
        default:
            rectTransform = .identity
        }
        rectTransform = rectTransform.scaledBy(x: scale, y: scale)
        let transformedRect = rect.applying(rectTransform)
        let imageRef = cgImage!.cropping(to: transformedRect)!
        let result = UIImage(cgImage: imageRef, scale: scale, orientation: imageOrientation)
        return result
    }
}

在iOS9.2SDK上，我使用下面的方法将帧从UIView转换为UIImage

-(UIImage *)getNeedImageFrom:(UIImage*)image cropRect:(CGRect)rect
{
  CGSize cropSize = rect.size;
  CGFloat widthScale = image.size.width/self.imageViewOriginal.bounds.size.width;
  CGFloat heightScale = image.size.height/self.imageViewOriginal.bounds.size.height;
  cropSize = CGSizeMake(rect.size.width*widthScale, 
              rect.size.height*heightScale);
  CGPoint pointCrop = CGPointMake(rect.origin.x*widthScale,
             rect.origin.y*heightScale);
  rect = CGRectMake(pointCrop.x, pointCrop.y, cropSize.width, cropSize.height);
  CGImageRef subImage = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(image.CGImage, rect);
  UIImage *croppedImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:subImage];
  CGImageRelease(subImage);

  return croppedImage;
}

看起来有点奇怪，但工作得很好，并考虑到图像方向:

var image:UIImage = ...

let img = CIImage(image: image)!.imageByCroppingToRect(rect)
image = UIImage(CIImage: img, scale: 1, orientation: image.imageOrientation)

- (UIImage *)getSubImage:(CGRect) rect{
    CGImageRef subImageRef = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(self.CGImage, rect);
    CGRect smallBounds = CGRectMake(rect.origin.x, rect.origin.y, CGImageGetWidth(subImageRef), CGImageGetHeight(subImageRef));

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(smallBounds.size);
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    CGContextDrawImage(context, smallBounds, subImageRef);
    UIImage* smallImg = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:subImageRef];
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    return smallImg;
}

在Swift中裁剪UIImage的最佳解决方案，在精度方面，像素缩放…:

private func squareCropImageToSideLength(let sourceImage: UIImage,
    let sideLength: CGFloat) -> UIImage {
        // input size comes from image
        let inputSize: CGSize = sourceImage.size

        // round up side length to avoid fractional output size
        let sideLength: CGFloat = ceil(sideLength)

        // output size has sideLength for both dimensions
        let outputSize: CGSize = CGSizeMake(sideLength, sideLength)

        // calculate scale so that smaller dimension fits sideLength
        let scale: CGFloat = max(sideLength / inputSize.width,
            sideLength / inputSize.height)

        // scaling the image with this scale results in this output size
        let scaledInputSize: CGSize = CGSizeMake(inputSize.width * scale,
            inputSize.height * scale)

        // determine point in center of "canvas"
        let center: CGPoint = CGPointMake(outputSize.width/2.0,
            outputSize.height/2.0)

        // calculate drawing rect relative to output Size
        let outputRect: CGRect = CGRectMake(center.x - scaledInputSize.width/2.0,
            center.y - scaledInputSize.height/2.0,
            scaledInputSize.width,
            scaledInputSize.height)

        // begin a new bitmap context, scale 0 takes display scale
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(outputSize, true, 0)

        // optional: set the interpolation quality.
        // For this you need to grab the underlying CGContext
        let ctx: CGContextRef = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
        CGContextSetInterpolationQuality(ctx, kCGInterpolationHigh)

        // draw the source image into the calculated rect
        sourceImage.drawInRect(outputRect)

        // create new image from bitmap context
        let outImage: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()

        // clean up
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

        // pass back new image
        return outImage
}

调用此函数的指令:

let image: UIImage = UIImage(named: "Image.jpg")!
let squareImage: UIImage = self.squareCropImageToSideLength(image, sideLength: 320)
self.myUIImageView.image = squareImage
